This study developed a fermented chestnut puree by lactic acid bacteria fermentation using steamed chestnut paste at 95℃ for 90 min and the quality characteristics were investigated. In addition, quality of the characteristics of the fermented chestnut puree during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria were reported. 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria were inoculated to steamed chestnut paste at a concentration of 2%(v/w), respectively, and incubated at 37℃ for 48 hr. Lactobacillus plantarum(KCTC 21004) was the most superior in acid production among 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria to the fermented chestnut puree. The effect of steamed chestnut concentration, inoculum size and fermentation temperature for fermented chestnut puree on physical properties and fermentation characteristics were investigated. As a result there was no significant difference on physiochemical properties but the optimum concentration of the steamed chestnut for puree properties is 50%.

This study investigated the effects of pretreatment and storage conditions on the properties of stored chestnuts. Effects on chestnuts of refrigerated storage (RNT) and frozen storage (FNT) with no pretreatment, frozen storage after oxalic acid treatment without blanching (FON) and with blanching (FOB) were examined. Water binding capacity, swelling power, solubility, and viscosity of the starch produced from RNT, FNT, and FON were similar to those of the starch produced from control (CON). FOB showed significant differences in these properties from CON. Textural properties of starch gels prepared from stored chestnuts except FOB also were very similar to those of CON starch gels. The sensory characteristics of steamed FON and FNT were similar to those of steamed CON except in brown color and hardness. Steamed FNT tended to have higher brown color and lower hardness than steamed FON. Steamed RNT showed significant differences in all the sensory properties except in hardness and cooked chestnut flavor. Steamed FOB was significantly higher than steamed CON in water release and off-flavor. Among the storage conditions examined, frozen storage with oxalic acid treatment is recommended for the long-term storage of chestnuts.

Two kinds of steamed sweet potatoes were dried with mild hot air to improve quality, convenience and preference as a snack. Steamed sweet potatoes were dried at temperatures ranging from 35 to $65^{\circ}C$ for 12 hr, and moisture contents, colors, texture, and taste were evaluated. The lowest moisture content was 0.25% at $65^{\circ}C$. Color values (L, a, b and ${\Delta}E$) decreased with increasing drying temperature and drying time in both chestnut-sweet potatoes and pumpkin-sweet potatoes. Reducing sugars and soluble solids increased quickly at high drying temperatures. The highest hardness value for chestnut-sweet potatoes was $26.31\;kg_f /cm^2$when they were dried at $65^{\circ}C$ for 12 hrs. Springiness and cohesiveness were higher than those in chestnut-sweet potatoes. The highest taste score was for a dried chestnut-sweet potatoes at $55^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr and a dried pumpkin-sweet potatoes at 45 or $55^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr.

The results of a study on the effects of variable chestnut content (0~25%) on the palatability of Sulgidduk or steamed rice cake were as follows: moisture content and degrees Brix increased significantly following an increase in chestnut content. L value and a value decreased significantly, whereas b value increased significantly. Sensory evaluation scores increased in the order of 15% > 10% > 25% > 20% > 0% chestnut content. Thus, we believe that the addition of 15% chestnut increases the palatability of Sulgidduk.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and physiological activities of takju prepared with whole chestnut (15%, 30% and 50% with steamed rice) during fermentation. The pH level began to decrease after the secondary brewing stage. The total acid as well as the organic acid content increased during fermentation. Lactic acid and succinic acid were the main organic acids in takju fermented with whole chestnut. The level of total sugar and reducing sugars in takju fermented with whole chestnut increased at the first brewing stage and then slowly decreased after 4 days of fermentation. Also, the total number of viable cells and microbial populations such as lactic acid bacteria and yeast in the treatments increased to about 108 CFU/mL after 1 days of fermentation and then decreased gradually afterward. The ethanol content in takju fermented with whole chestnut rapidly increased during the initial 4 days of fermentation, to a maximum content of 18.2% after 8 days. The colour values of the treatments did not show any significant differences between 0% and 15% chestnut content. However L value decreased, while the a and b values increased when the whole chestnut content above 30%. The total polyphenol level, electron donating ability, nitrite-scavenging ability and ferrous ion effect also increased as the ratio of whole chestnut increased. Sensory scores of takju fermented with 15% chestnut were greater than those of takju prepared by other treatments.

Cold air drying was conducted on steamed chestnut-sweet potato to improve its quality, convenience, and preference as snack. Steamed sweet potato was dried from 10 to $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours, and moisture contents, colors, texture, and taste were evaluated. The lowest moisture content was 4.53% at $25^{\circ}C$. Lightness decreased while other color values (a, b, and ${\Delta}$E) increased with increasing drying temperature and drying time. Reducing sugar and soluble solid contents ranged from 93.22~190.35 mg/g and 17~60 $^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. The highest hardness of chestnut-sweet potato was 25.13 kgf/$cm^2$, and springiness and cohesiveness were 88.60, and 94.87%, respectively, when dried at $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. Sensory evaluation score was highest at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The optimum drying conditions were determined to be $19^{\circ}C$ and 39.5 hours by RSM(response surface methodology).

The characteristics of mash qualities of takju prepared by addition of chestnut peel powder(5%, 10%, 20% and 30% per steamed rice) were investigated during fermentation. That is, in all fermentation periods, changes of pit total acid, organic acids, solids, amino nitrogen, total sugar and reducing sugar, microorganisms, alcohol and color were determined and analyzed. There was significant differences in characteristics of mash qualities by addition of chestnut peel powder. In general, contents of total acid, organic acids, amino nitrogen, total sugar, reducing sugar and ethanol of takju added with chestnut peel powder were lower than those of steamed rice only, whereas solid contents was higher. But ethanol content of takju added with 5% of chestnut peel powder after 8 days of fermentation was 9.6% which was similar to that of takju prepared by addition of steamed lice only. Also, microbial populations such as total viable cells, yeast and lactic acid bacteria of the treatments were increased to about $10^8CFU/mL$ after 2 days of fermentation and then decreased gradually. In the beginning stage of fermentation color differences value of the treatments were $1.99{\sim}10.27$, and the differentials reduced gradually during fermentation.

Imwonshibyukji was a copying manuscript written around 1825, the 27th year of king Soonjo of the Josun Dynasty. It was a massive home encyclopedia of total 52 books and 100 volumes. The unpublished 'Jeongjoji' of its 17-20th volumes analyzed the cooking methods on the steamed rice and gruel and studied the degree of their usefulness and medical values in the light of the cooking process science. The cooking method on the steamed rice was composed of 14 items, and the general introduction outlined 6 kinds of the rice. These were all quoted from Chinese literatures. The 11 items present the methods on the general production of the rice, 2 on the cooking process, and 1 on the preservation. The main material of the rice was rice, and others were naked barley, prosomillet, foxtail millet, glutinous millet, etc. , and the secondary materials were glutinous rice, small red bean, black soybean, potato, bamboo seed, jujube, taro, gaertner, chestnut powder, persimmon power, julib(Zizania caduciflora), mangcho(Erigeron canadensis), namchok(Nandina domestica), licorice root, nitrous, peach, palmicha(schizandra, jinseng, cheonmoondong(Asparagus), and honey are mixed), etc. The literatures quoted in the rice were all 33, in which 23 were Chinese (69.7%) and 10 were Korean (30.3%). In the case of gruel, the cooking methods on the general gruel were described in 41 items, and on the gruel for a medical treatment were in 48 items, in which there was not a cooking method on the gruel but only its medical values were presented. The materials used for the general gruel were approximately 60 kinds: rice, glutinous rice, munbean, job's tears, rye, soybean, black sesame seed, antler of cervidae, chicken, crucian carp, and various medical materials, etc. The gruel was mainly used for protection and medical treatment, and partly for food for hungry people. The literatures quoted in the gruel were total 57, in which 26 were Korean(45.6%), and 31 were Chinese (54.4%). It can be their characteristics that Almost all of the Chinese literatures on the methods of the steamed rice and gruel do not exist.

In this study, two kinds of chestnut-sweet potato (CSP) and pumpkin-sweet potato (PSP) were cooked by three methods: raw, steaming, and roasting. These samples were investigated in food compositions such as moisture, protein, ash, dietary fiber, fat, minerals, and vitamins. As the results of this study, the moisture contents of raw CSP and raw PSP were higher than those of steamed and roasted samples in two cultivars. The contents of protein in raw CSP and raw PSP were 2.57 g/100 g and 3.22 g/100 g, respectively, which were higher than those of other cultivars. The protein contents of roasted CSP and steamed PSP were lower than those of their raw samples. The potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and iron values of PSP were 1,048.46 mg/100g, 152.02 mg/100g, 74.70 mg/100g, 57.22 mg/100g, 22.28 mg/100g, and 1.44 mg/100g, respectively, which were the highest values in tested sweet potato cultivars. The content of dietary fiber in CSP was higher generally than that in PSP. The values of total dietary fiber in cooked sweet potatoes were higher than those of raw sweet potatoes. The contents of vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, in PSP were higher than those in CSP. Overall, two cultivars of raw, boiled, and roasted sweet potatoes had enhanced food composition. Therefore, these sweet potato cultivars are expected to be highly valuable food items for the development and application of functional foods.
